Sharapova sails through at Wimbledon

Date:

Former Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova outclassed Dutch qualifier Richel Hogenkamp on Wednesday, breezing into the third round with a straight-sets victory.

The fourth seed took just 65 minutes to see off the world number 123 in a 6-3, 6-1 second round win.

Sharapova faces either Lesia Tsurenko of Ukraine or Romanian 29th seed Irina-Camelia Begu in the round of 32.

Hogenkamp, 23, was making her main draw debut at the All England Club but was no match for the Russian 2004 champion.

Sharapova followed her boyfriend Grigor Dimitrov on the 4,000-capacity Court Two, the Bulgarian 11th seed having made it though to the third round with a straight sets win over Steve Johnson of the United States.

Sharapova, 28, hit 23 winners as she booked her place in the third round.
